8 'Wooden sanding block

Perfect-o

Have you got an annoying problem with those ridiculous Jumbo Frets? Bing boom not anymore you don't. Its just that easy. Pick the correct radius, place your guitar on a level stable surface and support the neck and grind away until those railroad ties are down to a manageable level. Then mask off the board, and polish with steel wool. At least that's what i did with a guitar i got on clearance which had, quite literally, NO - NONE - NADA - 0 fret work at all. I'm not exaggerating. They pressed the frets into the neck and then shipped it out. The ends were like barbed wire and the tops of the frets must have been 3/16" off the board. Now its fine. I'm going to buy every single radius block Stew Mac sells plus all the 4 inch ones too.
